📜Exodus 33:21 “Then the LORD said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the Rock.”

⛰Jesus Christ is the Rock. He’s the One who has prepared for us a place next to God. “And since I’m going away to prepare a place for you, I’ll come back again and welcome you into My presence, so that you may be where I am” John 14:3. He rose from the dead and took His position in heaven. “But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.” Luke 22:69

🛋Victory is guaranteed for us who are in Christ since we rule from above. “The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.” Psalm 110:1

⚖”And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6

🚞In summary, we departed from home (God’s presence) when we sinned. God created a train (salvation) to bring us back. Christ paid the price by booking a ticket for two (His and ours), went ahead of us to prepare a place and it’s now our responsibility, not only to accept the complimentary ticket but to begin to enjoy God’s presence immediately we do so, for as He is, so are we. “This is how Love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.” 1 John 4:17

🙏🏾Lord, where would I be if it were not for Your Blood? Thank You for saving me and empowering me instantly. I choose to abide in You all the days of my life, in Jesus Name, Amen.

📜Psalm 90:12 “So teach us to consider our mortality, so that we might live wisely.”

🕒Compare our time here on earth with eternity. There is definitely no comparison at all. The former is short (in a limited way) while the latter is long (in an infinite way).

🤔Our choices here on earth will determine our final destination (life after physical death). Choose Christ and live forever.

↩Yesterday was Tuesday the 22nd of May, 2018; gone, never to return. Today we are a day older; there’s no time our age will reduce.

⬆If we’re convinced of eternity, then we’re better off allowing only the things that positively affect our final destination to take up our time. “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2

🌍”And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.” 1 John 2:17

🕚Time and tide wait for no man. St Marher, 1225.

💭Today we celebrate the life of Mr. Obure Ochoro (Dad) who went ahead of us on this day, 9 years ago. He always emphasized on “Doing the right thing, at the right TIME, at all TIMES.”

🙏🏾Father, thank You for reminding us of the things that truly matter. Help us to fully utilize our time here on earth with heaven in mind, in Jesus Name and by the Power of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

“What are you doing?” I asked as he keenly painted very tiny black dots within a red figure. He had just switched from a big brush to a smaller one. This man lived in a house located way above other houses, what you could term as top floor or better still, an attic.

Slowly but surely, the artist completed his drawing and out popped a ladybird, one so beautiful and full of life. It lingered a bit, and finally flew away. You should have seen the look on my face! Never in my thirty something years on planet earth had I witnessed anything close to this: simply unbelievable!

“Then I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him” Proverbs 8:30 (NASB)

A new sheet was open. This time the theme was black and white, as opposed to the previous colored painting. The artist drew the back side of a man in a split of a second! He was done even before he began. While I still marveled at his immeasurable speed, he embarked on inserting trendy detail on this man’s haircut. Wow! You should have seen how much concentration he put on every stroke, every dot, every cut. As soon as he was done with this magnificent piece, the drawing came to life! Without turning to face us, the figure walked away, down an alley and round the bend. I was concerned, The artist wasn’t.

The artist then casually stood and asked me to follow him.

“Where are we going?” I asked. “Are you not going to teach me more?”

He answered, “It’s now time to rest. Follow me and I will teach you my kind of rest.”

“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”….. “And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.” (Genesis 1:26; 2:2)

We left the studio, down a long flight of stairs and onto a road, kinda like a street within an estate. We came to this ordinary looking shack and a huge guy opened for us the door. Although we didn’t enter but conversed with him at his patio, I could tell that these two had a good relationship; a father – son relationship. The resemblance was also quite evident: very polished.

Father asked son, “How do you manage to remain composed, knowing that your little brother lives on the ground floor of your building, in the assembly of thugs, yet you still come to intercede on his behalf?”

“Who is the one condemning? For it is Christ Jesus, the one having died, now rather having been raised up, who is also at the right hand of God, and who is interceding for us.” Romans 8:34.

The artist began to cry as he was deeply moved. Immediately, another look – alike appeared, this time round, a lady. She embraced him for a very long time, leaving me in an awkward position. All I wondered was how I could help this family reconcile with their son, brother, friend. That is when I woke up! A dream so real, I can still see, hear, feel, smell and touch the encounter.

Prayer: Father, thank You for the clear reminder. Help us Oh Lord not to come to You with questions on why the world is the way it is, but rather teach us Your kind of rest. Forgive us for the times we have walked away from You after receiving our blessings. Teach us to walk in Your ways. As we are on earth, may we learn to do only the things that we see You do in heaven. Jesus we thank You for continuously interceding for us. You have remained faithful to us even after we abandoned your teachings (The Word). Holy Spirit, without You we cannot make it. You have been our Comforter (2 Cor 1:4), wiping our tears and holding us close. Thank You for leading us to the Artist. Thank You for the dreams and visions. Thank You for the spiritual gifts in whole. Here we are, ready to learn Your kind of rest. Father Lead us in the Name of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior and by the Power of the Holy Spirit we pray and believe, Amen.

“For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and your sons will find compassion before those who led them captive and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.” (2 Chronicles 30:9)

Yesterday morning I went into prayer and I had a vision. Kind of like a trance within a vision. Here goes:

My sisters and I were sitting in a certain living room that was L-shaped and very squeezed. The seats were old fashioned, not spongy but lots of wooden parts showing. There was a wall unit at the L interception and it had a small TV in it. We were getting ready to watch a movie which we were so eager to start. The TV’s reception was not colored but black and white. When the first scene of the movie came, I began feeling uncomfortable (This happens a lot when I’m about to travel in the Spirit. The physical becomes heavy) God began to whisper to me ‘Come I show you something’. I told God to take me up quickly (I’m always so excited when this happens because I know it’s an open portal).

I begin to pray in tongues and watch as my spirit man leaves my body and I begin to go up at lightening speed. All this time I was so excited because I knew we were going to the 3rd heaven and out of experience it’s the greatest place to be. But shock on me! We get to the 2nd heaven (outer space) and God leaves me there. I am still moving but not as fast. I could see the stars and the earth. Such a spectacular view that leaves you gazing with your mouth open. Then I spot this huge sharp arrow going towards earth at tremendous speed. Fear fills me up and I scream so loud! I hear two sharp clap-like noises as it tears into planet earth. Then I remember where we all are, watching a movie. I yearn to proceed with my journey to the 3rd heaven but I feel a need to go back and warn my sisters of the coming doom.

Immediately I am back into my body but now I’m in kneeling position (Remember this is still in the vision, not physical). I find all of us asleep deeply and snoring. My youngest sister has now moved from her single seat to the three seater I was occupying. Then the vision ends. (This is from 8.12 am to about 9.45 am)

Oh! What a wake up call to us, the bride of Christ. We’re in battle brethren. Take up your weapons of war and fervently advance this Kingdom of God. It is okay to watch a movie and very okay to sleep. In fact God gives sweet sleep to His beloved (Psalms 127:2). However, it is not okay to be caught unawares. There’s a time for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).

Let’s not continue with business as usual.

Let’s knock on heaven’s doors with prayer and supplication;

Let’s stand in the gap on behalf of the world;

Let’s be a voice of hope to the lost;

Let’s be somewhere working for the Lord (representing the Kingdom everywhere we go and in everything we do);

Prayer: Lord, as we await Your return, may we not get too comfortable with life’s issues that we forget our purpose on earth. Help us to know the times and seasons that we are in. We yield to Your voice as you keenly lead us in our daily walk and assignments. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Creation: It all began with the creation story. Adam was created by God solely for the purpose of him worshiping God. He used to commune with God face to face. The idea was for him to fill the earth with the likes of him and his beloved wife Eve. Unfortunately the devil managed to trick him (as well as his wife) and sin checked in, giving birth to death. They could no longer appear before God as they used to. Man lost authority over the earth to the devil. Sin brought a curse into the world. Every one born of Adam was therefore born with this decaying nature, destined to suffer and ultimately die.

Redemption: Thanks be to God for He already had a plan (He always does). God knows the end from the beginning. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Knowing that everyone born of man could not save man from this eternal death, He sent Jesus Christ, born of His Spirit, blameless in all His ways, to save the world. That is why Jesus had to be born of a virgin: so that He doesn’t possess the blood of man, which is already defiled. Did you know that in the fetus’ blood does not mix with it’s mother’s blood? Read more on this here. He came and died, went to hell and won back the keys to life. He did it all for you and I. Hell was never created for any man to occupy. The Holy Spirit came after Jesus returned to the Father so that He may guide us into all Truth – showing us how to become more like Jesus, that we may show the world the Word that came to set us (them) free.

Salvation: God created us with self will. He calls us, by His Spirit, to His own and gives us the final choice to make. Salvation undid the curse and brought a blessing into the world. The only way to enter the Kingdom of God once again is through accepting the Lordship of Christ: allowing the blood of Jesus to wash away our sins and His death to speak for us, that we may attain eternal life – a place with no disease, no sorrow, no war, no sadness, no devils, no heartache. A place we shall forever worship our Father and our God.

The day of the Lord is near: a day when Jesus, our groom, is coming for us, His bride, to forever dwell with Him in eternity. This day is drawing nearer and nearer with every passing day. Isaiah Chapter 13 describes this day vividly (I hope to come up with a movie on it one day). Let me summarize it: God has prepared His army by placing His eternal purpose in all who have accepted His call. By prayer, fasting, witnessing and living a God – Centred life, we advance the kingdom of God, and He in turn draws the world to Himself. Why so? Because this earth is passing away. Scientists have proven that the ozone is depleting, the water bodies are exceeding their boundaries, earthquakes are coming, etc. In short, creation is groaning for the manifestation of the Sons of God. (Romans 8:19). Great destruction is coming and it will consume every fallen thing that will be on earth then. The earth will be destroyed and a new heaven and a new earth will arise. Should we panic? Not at all! God’s got us covered.

Action Plan:

Let us walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16)

Let us speak boldly of the Gospel of Christ because it is the only power that can overcome the world. (Romans 1:16)

Let us go boldly to the ends of the earth because God is going with us and is giving us victory (Deuteronomy 20:4)

Let us do all that the Father tells us to do because everything works together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called by His name (Romans 8:28)

Let us gather together to pray and fast because it is the Lord mobilizing an army for war (Isaiah 13:4)

Let us remember to give God all the glory because He is the One causing us to triumph in His Name as we spread His Word – Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 2:14)

Prayer:

Thank you Lord for creating us, Thank You Lord for redeeming the world and saving us from death and into eternal life. Thank You for empowering us for the calling You have appointed us for. Thank You Holy Spirit for revealing Christ to us and guiding us in every step that we take. Lord You said, ‘Occupy till I come’. May our occupation be a fruitful one: winning souls, prospering in body and in soul, overcoming the evil one, doing what we see our Father in heaven do and making use of each and every resource you have made available to us, including social media. I speak victory all round. I speak brotherly Love. I speak divine health. I speak salvation to every creature. I speak in the Name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Dam – this is the most important component of hydroelectric power plant. The dam is built on a large river that has abundant quantity of water throughout the year. It should be built at a location where the height of the river is sufficient to get the maximum possible potential energy from water.

Water Reservoir – This is the place behind the dam where water is stored. The water in the reservoir is located higher than the rest of the dam structure. The higher the height of water, the more its potential energy. The high position of water in the reservoir also enables it to move downwards effortlessly. This also helps to increase the overall potential energy of water, which helps ultimately produce more electricity in the power generation unit.

Intake or Control Gates – These are the gates built on the inside of the dam. The water from reservoir is released and controlled through these gates. These are called inlet gates because water enters the power generation unit through these gates.

The Penstock – this is the long pipe or the shaft that carries the water flowing from the reservoir towards the power generation unit, comprised of the turbines and generator.

Water Turbines – When water falls on the blades of the turbine the kinetic and potential energy of water is converted into the rotational motion of the blades of the turbine. The rotating blades causes the shaft of the turbine to also rotate.

Generators – Here is where the electricity is produced. The shaft of the water turbine rotates in the generator, which produces alternating current in the coils of the generator. It is the rotation of the shaft inside the generator that produces magnetic field which is converted into electricity by electromagnetic field induction. Thus in hydroelectricity power plants potential energy of water is converted into electricity. Info courtesy of Brighthub Engineering

This is exactly what happens when we pray using a heavenly language.

The Dam is the Spirit of God in us. He is all knowing and comes into our spirit to enrich our reservoir.

The reservoir is the total amount of knowledge we have regarding God and His purposes in our lives. This is formed when we read the Word of God and listen to His teachings. The more knowledge we have from God, the easier it is to receive from His Spirit.

The control gates are our mouths. The moment we open our mouths in supernatural prayer, we allow the Spirit of God to speak mysteries through us. These discoveries enter the generator through the control gate and cause an edification process.

The penstock is the length of time we dedicate in prayer using the heavenly language. The longer the session, the more the generation of heavenly mysteries.

The Turbines are our tongues. As we open the gates and allow our tongues to move in faith, the Spirit of God takes control and is able to physically download the heavenly solutions to earthly problems.

Finally, the generator is our brain. The tongue’s rotation causes the transmission of spiritual messages to the brain, allowing the brain to give instructions to the various body parts on what is expected for the pending need. These instructions are accurate electric currents that have been directly released from heaven, thus the results are always victorious.

The outcome of this activity (praying in God’s language) is miracles, healing, restoration, empowerment, and every good thing that the Lord has kept for us. This is what we mean by heaven on earth.

Benefits of Praying in the Language of Heaven:

It activates the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation.

It empowers you for your calling.

It Causes Healing of your brain and mind.

It prays out your fears, anxiety and traumas.

It enables you to tap into the treasures within you.

It’s God’s language, thus you are able to talk to Him directly and accurately.

On A Lighter Note: There are many reasons why my life still has some form of darkness: could it be that my reservoir level (knowledge of God) needs to be raised? Could it be that the length of time spent in prayer (penstock) ain’t long enough? Could it be that my gate (mouth) is shut or my turbine (tongue) is rusty thus causing no transmission to the generator (brain)? In one thing am I confident: That the source of the Dam will never run dry.
